History Repeating - Part 3

Trigger Warning - Mentions of Unplanned Teenage Pregnancy and Vomit.

It took a couple of weeks for the tension in the Egerton household to cool down. Little sparks to arguments would abrupt out of nowhere due to the added stress that had been piled onto the family. Everyone tried to pretend everything was normal. You tried the hardest. Distracting yourself with school, homework, spending time with friends— you really tried. You had too. Even half-assing your attempt at normalcy would be enough to stop your emotions from crushing you. You felt like you were on a constant battle with your anxiety, which wasn’t helping your nausea.

You slowly walked down the stairs to find Taron sprawled out on the sofa. He was absentmindedly staring at the background on his phone, which you knew was an old throwback photo of the three of you, it was one he hadn’t changed for years. The picture always made him smile. As you stood silently watching, you felt your stomach lurch and bile rise up into your throat. Holding a hand firmly to your mouth, you stumbled your way back up the stairs, and hurry to the nearest toilet. Even though the distance between the stairs and the bathroom wasn’t very long, you barely made it to the toilet before you start vomiting. And it was probably the most intense vomiting session you’d ever had.

It only took a few minutes before you felt your dads calming presence by your side. He quickly grabbed your hair and hushed gentle words of support in your ear. Just like he had every single time you got sick. Just like he had with Lily. He ran his hand smoothly across your back making you instantly feel better. Once you finally finished, and were no longer dry heaving, you leant back on your knees. You try to catch your breath, brushing some tiny strands of hair from your sweaty face.

“Better?” Taron asked as you finally opened your eyes. You slowly nod your hair, not wanting to make any rapid movements incase they brought on another round of vomiting. Your dad had been there every step of the way, just like he had promised you. “Here, drink this.” He said as he pressed a cold glass to your lips. You took small sips of the water, washing the taste from your mouth. “Let me go and make you a green tea, you can sip on it in the car on the way to your appointment.”

You were thankful he was going to be there with you at your first appointment that afternoon. You didn’t think you could manage it on your own. While you were excited to go, you also felt nervous. What if something goes wrong? You can’t help but wonder — worry — that something will go horribly wrong and you’re not ready to deal with that. Certainly not on your own.

When you arrived for your appointment, you went over and signed in before relaxing into the waiting room with your dad. You looked around at all the other expectant parents. You could feel Taron stiffen as he looked around too. He was nervous for you. He wasn’t ready to become a grandparent in his late 30’s. Hell he thought his wife was pregnant not his daughter. But if he hadn’t got Lily pregnant so early, he wouldn’t be in this situation. Yet, he wouldn’t change it for the world. You were his world.

Fifteen minutes later your name was called and you both followed a tall thin lady into a room. You sat on the edge of the bed as you swung your feet back and forth looking at all the posters on the walls that talked about pregnancy, cervical dilation, and menstrual cycles. A few moments later; gentle knock on the door makes you flinch, your eyes snapping to the door as you watched it open. An older woman, with grey dark hair and a kind face, comes in and looks at you and Taron.

“Hi,” she says. “Grace?” You nod, she gives a warm smile, closes the door and sits across from you. “Hello, I’m Mary, I will be your ultrasound technician today. And this is…” She slowed her speech down as she looked to Taron with thin eyes.

“Hello, I’m her dad. I’m here for moral support.” He said as he replied with a short sharp smile.

“Wonderful.” She replied before turning back to you. She explained everything that was going to happen. It had been worked out that you were about 9-10 weeks pregnant. You sat and listened, trying to take in everything that she was saying. She instructs you to lie back against the bed. You lift your shirt up and flinch from the cold gel as it makes contact with your skin. You gulp with anxiety. Your eyes dart across the white clinical ceiling. Taron got up from his chair and went to the side of the bed, grabbing hold of his daughters hand before raising to place a gentle kiss on the back of it.

You both sat in silence watching every move the technician made on your flat stomach. It took you a moment to realise that you were holding your breath. You closed your eyes and tried to relax into the moment the best you could. You kept them closed until you heard your dad release a little audible gasp. You opened your eyes and looked at the tiny form on the screen.

“That’s it right?” You questioned with a slight shake in your voice.

“Yep, that’s your baby.” She replied with a smile on her face. As you stared at the screen, it filled you with such joy, you couldn’t even begin to put it into words.

“Can we hear the heartbeat?” Taron asked, as he squeezed your hand.

“Sure. Let me just…” Mary pushed a button and within seconds the sounds of the baby’s heart beating echo around the room. “That sounds like a very strong heartbeat to me.”

“Wow.” Was all you could say. You felt tears forming in your eyes. You had made that. That was your baby. Yours.

“It’s pretty amazing, isn’t it?” Taron asked whilst rubbing the top of your hand. “I remember when I heard your heartbeat for the first time.”

“Tan, are you okay?” Lily whispered turning to Taron who was loudly tapping his foot on the squeaky floor.

“Oh, um, yeah, everything's fine. All good. Are you okay?”

The second those words escaped his lips, he couldn't help but feel guilty. He wasn’t even sure why. It's not like he was lying. But he was feeling nervous. Really nervous. But that was normal right? Because according to the books he'd been reading, first time parents - or any parents actually - felt nervous for this. To be fair, it was more like a 'good' nervous; where he's happy and eager, but still getting butterflies in his stomach.

But the bottom line was that he's happy and excited. And why wouldn't he be? It's the first time he was going to see his baby, and he has been looking forward to this day ever since learning about Lily’s pregnancy. It's still weird to him - they're having a baby. A baby! A tiny little version of them.

Thats when it hit them - the sound they've been waiting to hear. Taron and Lily both had that classic excited-but-nervous expression on their faces. There's one moment when they try to laugh, but then they immediately go back to being serious. They just listen to the pattern - dum-dum-dum-dum-dum…

“I-Is that…?” Taron started. His face must have been a picture.

“That’s your baby's heartbeat,” the doctor answered with a smile, already anticipating the question. “And that, right there, is your baby.”

They both turned their attention to the monitor in front of them, the doctor pointing at a particular spot. To put it simply, there's a little blob that seems to be moving infrequently and producing the sound that is reverberating off the walls in the room. But that blob and that sound was Lily and Taron's world. That was the product of their love for each other. The start of their life together.

“That's the baby?” Lily says gently. It wasn't intended as a question, but that's way it came out because she can't believe it either. There's a baby!

“That's right. And so far everything looks good and healthy... I'll give you two some time alone.” They silently thanked the doctor as she left them alone, with the image of their baby still on the screen. The parents still in awe. They didn’t blink once. Not wanting the image to suddenly disappear. They'd read books on pregnancy, and they'd watched shows with a pregnancy plot line, and they'd been told by their own mothers how it feels. But none of those were able to compete with this feeling that they had. The warmth, the love. Lily was barely able to hold it all together, letting the happy tears stream down her cheeks the moment the couple are alone. “That’s our baby T,' Lily whispered while trying to compose herself.

But Taron didn’t respond. He was transfixed on the monitor. Not showing any emotion either, which wasn't like him. “That’s our baby…” He murmured in disbelief.

You and Taron got to see and hear the baby for a few more minutes as the technician took photographs for you to keep. A few moments later the technician turned off the machine and handed you a paper towel to wipe the gel off your stomach. “Everything looks good.” She hands you a line of ultrasound pictures, and you feel a whirlwind of emotions inside you. Taron smiles at you as get sit back up on the bed, “You’ll have another appointment in a few weeks time, in the meantime I want you to start taking these prenatal vitamins, these with help with the development of the baby as well as your health during the pregnancy.”

“Okay. Thank you.” You say as you jump off the bed and collect your belongings.

“No problem. I’ll see you guys soon. Have a good rest of the day.” She guides you out of the room. You thank her and leave the room with the Ultrasound pictures in your trembling hands.

You and your dad walk silently back to the car. You climb into the passenger side, still staring down at the pictures of your little blob. You felt like you were having an out of body experience. You couldn’t believe it. Taron turned the engine of the car on and turned to look at you before driving off. He leant over and placed a little kiss on the top of your head.

“Come on. Let’s go and show your mum.” You looked over at him and smiled. You couldn’t have done this without him.

2019 Creative Review

Thank you to the fantastic @kinschi for tagging me in this creative throwback! Your amazing 💕

Okay so wow there is a loot to cover in here and I don't know if in gonna cover qbsolutlry everything? But here we go!

In December of last year I saved up to make probably one of the best purchases in ever made for my art which is get an iPad and wow did I ever start drawing digitally like crazy. I wanted to start t off big so I told myself in January that every day I was going to do a full drawing on the iPad which I did!... For two months and then dropped it but there was reason for that and here are a few examples of those

March came along and with that a huge annoncment from DPCC my girl the voice of Riza Hawkeye was attending the con! My motivation went up like crazy and I went to go draw her an original piece to sign! Cool idea I thought until my mind was blown out of the water when the whole freaking critical role cast was announced they were coming too. This event kicked off like my entire first half of the year creating stuff. Ashley Johnson was also announced and umm I almost cried... I wanted to do something cool for the critters as well so just like that my first sticker set was born. Here are some of the pieces that I made in prep for that con. I think I can officially also say I got comfy with pen and ink

I did all that in 3 months :D... past me how? This year I think I tried to get into art school 3 times? Finally I was able to go this winter semester! Post con I got denied and stated working on personal things to help me improve! First one is before and second was a project for school

A Great friend of mine also gave me this sketchbook that has a draw every day theme. I took it to heart and as of today have kept with it for 154 days? Some of those are also my most popular drawings so that's really cool.

I also started a sticker business this year??? AND GOT ACCEPTED INTO AN ARTIST ALLEY?!?! HOW?!?

AND FINISHED INKTOBER?!?!

AND IN DECEMBER STARTED DOING A COMIC?!?

Really I am blown away at all the stuff I was able to create this year. I'm never worked so hard and been so grateful of all that's going in in my life right now. I can only hope that I will be able to create more this upcoming year :)

I'm gonna tag @candyfoxdraws @tomochingus @raspberrydeathcake394 @bobobkins and @riptydecosplay

#gosh this year #thank you so much for sticking with me guys #an alchemist rambles #mine #my art

tlj review

(spoiler: it’s long)

I'm glad I: 1) went as spoiler-free as I did for this one (only saw the first trailer). And 2) lucked out w/ a theater that had a fair number of loud fans. Both things combined made it so that I was more willing to sit back and soak up the excitement.

Some people disliked the increase of humor vs ep7, I though it was alright. Some jokes landed, some didn't. In my opinion, when they used the shift in tone to defy the expectations of the audience (like when Luke throws the light saber over his shoulder or when the VERY first thing we see is Poe trolling Hux) those were the moments where the movie really soared. But when the comedy was horned in in a Jar-Jar fashion... those were the moments that tanked hard (the most jarring of being 1) when Chewie is eating the fried porgs, and 2) when that goblin alien guy cheers over the coin raining in the casino trampling escape scene. Cringe and also wow way to halt all the momentum)

the writing could get pretty contrived, mainly in the first half of the movie. You could tell when the writers were pulling hardcore dramatic acrobatics to put the characters in the places they wanted them to be. It was very easy in the first half of the movie to tell how the characters were just pieces on a chessboard, moving to the script’s whim.

The most sticking plot point of this kind was the First Order suddenly able to track hyperspace travel out of nowhere.w hy ? ? ? ? How ? ? ? ?

who tf knows it was just an excuse to have Finn and Rose deactivate A Thing.

(one of the friends I was watching with pointed out that they have become obsessed with “deactivate x” plots and I categorically agreed, Get some new campaign objectives, Disney!)

(and there is another reason the “tracking” subplot plot failed... I’ll come back to it at the end)

The new scoundrel guy that tagged along with Finn and Rose frankly felt way too much like a Solo replacement, ugh. And the part where he tells Rose to keep the medallion bc ohhhhh he only needed it for the diffusion was so fucking cliche I was rolling my eyes out to the next galaxy (AND it diminished the sacrifice Rose did by giving it away anyway!!). Stop adding new white dudes 2 star wars pls. We Have Enough.

I do like that when finn said “you are wrong” he was like “maybe”. That was a good moment.

And I guess that he did serve a point when he pulled a Jolee Bindo and talked about how the “good guys/bad guys” don't exist in star wars... but idk if the movie succeeded at that, (again, more on that at the end...)

so many close ups to ALIENN MAMMARY GLANDS omfg w h Y D;

NOW I GOTTA KINKSHAME THE ENTIRE GALAXY

lol I'm pretty sure Disney paid off most of the movie critics bc although I LOVED the film, objectively it is definitely not a 98% film. 2 many undeniable visual and structural flaws.

Every Leia and Luke scene was amazing. As was the “obi wan, you are my only ho” throwback. That was the turning point of the movie for me and when things really started to pick up.

...I like that Han was very unimportant overall compared to Leia in this one lol

re: Reylo: ngl as someone who was exhausted w/ this discourse and doesn't really care enough to ship it nor notp it, I was extremely satisfied with this part of the plot.

The team up was so fucking exciting (one of the parts that got the most cheers where I watched!) and the legilimency scenes were so engaging. It was genuinely interesting to see whether Rey would turn or not.

THO LMAO THANKFULLY SHE DIDNT DO THAT. I WOULD HAVE BEEN LIVID but, yeah, i do love that they had me on the edge with that.

I think people are being really unfair when they said the reylo dragged the film down tbqh. I don't even think it “happened” in the way the shippers are saying anyway? If Rey had taken him up on his offer then yeah, you could say it was “canon”. But the endgame for reylo (the only possible, satisfying endgame ) is Rey severing their connection. And mercifully, this is the canon.

Speaking of ships: rey x finn OTP 4ever sdklfjsdlkf!!!.

lmao they had like 3 moments in this film and i died at every single one of them.

Honestly this whole plot spoke so highly of Rey? “I'm gonna try to force a redemption arc on this guy” was a legit solid plan. it was v genre savvy of her, and she even pulled it off mostly.

Again I think Kylo's arc has been satisfying in both films because it is always “WILL HE TURN.... jk he wont. ps men suck” and... I love that lol. If they can resist the temptation to redeem him in the third film I will deem his villain arc a successful one.

Snoooke on the other hand was a joke and a waste of time as a villain :/

He was so unbelievable esp. because, ok....., so he is smart enough to do this this grand evil scheme using the the kylo and rey force bond, but not enough to see that Kylo was the person he should have always been the most suspicious of!? what the actual fuck, tbh being weary of ur apprentice is sith master safety 101

Luke however... dude, he really Jedi Master’d it up here. Honestly I think the part where he faces down the entire Kylo artillery fleet should go down as a one of the greatest SW scenes of all time. I was so satisfied by this moment. It really felt like something we had been waiting for for years. To see a real, true testament to the strength we know Jedi masters have...

That it then turned out to be a trick was even better. And that said “trick” actually enormous control of the Force + the Ultimate Sacrifice was the best

on that note “Ah, young skywalker, still too busy looking at the horizon...” was such a fucking gorgeous line ugh. It gave me episode 4 feelings (my fav film and therefore my fav feelings).

lol the rey/luke/ben section of the movie was so much more interesting than everything else tbh. That was really the heart of the film imo.

the poe/holdo/leia section got pretty amazing by the end tho, I was starting ti really into it. Internal rebel politics are fascinating. also leia and holdo were so gay, guys.

I have detailed before why the the finn/rose/solo2.0 section was the weakest but, it also got better later in the third act. The finn vs admiral phasma fight was imo the most stunning visual of the film. And Finns delivery of the “Rebel Scum” reply was so powerful.

The best thing about this section of the plot (and this is now getting to the closing thoughts) is how it sets up the good ol’ theme of The Power of Stories: first with the Rose and Finn scene, then the Holden speech, and then it really clicked together in the final scene.

Honestly that was, I think, the smartest narrative choice in this movie.... unlike the other themes I'm gonna talk about after this, this one fits perfectly in the larger context of these movies. The SW trilogy exists in the larger context of the whole SW canon, and 90% of the discussion of them is how they measure up to the past. So to have those kids playing with their Luke Skywalker figurines was v satisfying, ’cause it was the most meta. It is literally putting star wars fans on the screen!

Sadly...this smart narrative choice is hurt by the biggest flaw of this movie, which is the same as in the previous movie: there is no point at all to anything the rebellion does, and this ends up rendering all movies before pointless. The republic should have been re-established post-episode 6, but somehow, episode 7 opens with the universe pretty much worse than it was in episode 4 (!!!). And now, even though the rebellion should have the upper hand post-episode 7, instead episode 8 opens with The First Order at the high of their power, now with added hyperspace-tracking technology.

There is no explanation to any of this, and it hurts the new trilogies tremendously.

also tbh I have been groaning about this since ep7 and Im glad people are finally catching up to it with ep8

the second biggest flaw (lol) is the same for all star wars movies: even though we have jedi saying “wars do not make one great”, these films are all about glorifying war and the spectacle of it all. And maybe the first trilogy could get away with it, but today I think audiences are more tuned in with the real world horrors, pointlessness and politics/economics of war that you cant really make a film like this without examining those things harshly and honestly.

And to its credit, this film did try, probably the hardest out all the star wars so far...but not hard enough to salvage the hypocrisy of it all. They never really went anywhere with the whole end of the Jedi/Sith, and it is honestly kind of a discouraging film, because the whole “fire of the rebellion” mantra instead of being up-lifting, sounds like adding more fuel to the fire of a pointless, endless cycle.

tldr overall: awesome but flawed star war. ps force user!leia fuck yes.

#there is definitely more to say than this #bc there was A LOT going on in this one #this is just based on what i can remember from memory #tlj #kotor #since i mention it a few times...#sw #meta #liveblog

Glee - S1 E2 (Showmance)

Mama Mia, here I go again!

Please don’t tell me this GROWN MAN had his license plate changed to “GLEE” to reflect the high school club he runs. PLEASE.

Rachel brings a whole-ass SUITCASE to school? I know she’s extra by nature but PLEASE.

Finn just Doesn’t Know What Things Are! I adore him.

You’re really just going to walk by Kurt hanging out by the dumpster with a bunch of dudes who harass him in the hallways? AGAIN? Nice one.

“One day, you will all work for me” I doubt these guys are going to be working up the ranks at Vogue.com, Kurt, but I rate the energy.

Emma you’re better than this dude. Run. Run as fast as your hollow bird pelvis will let you.

SANTANA’S FIRST LINE!!! You’re right, they should get a room.

For all the creepy obsessing Will’s done so far over the glee kids, you’d think HE would be the one to notice how they don’t have enough members to qualify

Sue points out a bunch of special ed classes, and yet I’m pretty sure she says McKinley has no real support available for special needs students later on? They must be whack classes

These people are really acting like all Will does is coach the glee kids even though he’s literally a Spanish teacher

Early Quinn may be incredibly mean, but like, I’d say thanks if she killed me

Rachel really has a whole spare outfit ready to change in to post-slushying? I guess that makes sense if it happens that regularly

Cory Monteith REALLY couldn’t dance and we love him for it

Disco didn’t suck until Mr Schue got his grubby little mitts on it

I almost forgot about Kurt’s selection of hats. What is this one? A fez? It’s fez shaped

Why is Kurt so sure they’ll throw fruit specifically? Is that McKinley asshole custom?

Terri’s actress, once again nailing the act of making me want to throttle her

Kendra also nails that.

A “used” house oh my god

THIS ARGUMENT BETWEEN KURT AND MERCEDES IS GOLDEN. “You need to call me before you dress yourself. You loo like a technicolor zebra.” They REALLY match. God I hope they ad-libbed that.

It’s the first rap of the show, folks.

I hate Mr Schue doing Kanye, I really do, but imagine Finn doing it instead like he planned. Better? Worse? I can’t even tell anymore.

The LOOK Kurt gives Mercedes when she starts belting out the Jamie Foxx part... Don’t be jealous hon you’ll get your bars. For real though his face is hilarious, he looks like he’s worried she’s about to burst a blood vessel with all that TALENT

Sign #5 That Mr Schuester Is An Asshole: Get your hands OFF of Kurt Will Schuester he doesn’t want to dance! Tbh though I love season 1 Kurt during the group numbers because he just always looks SO done.

Mr Schue’s also wearing a T-shirt that says “DITCH PLANS” on it. Please DITCH the state instead?

KEVIN MCHALE IS THE UNSUNG VOCAL HERO OF THIS WHOLE SHOW AND I WILL NEVER LET ANYBODY FORGET IT

Watching them all sing in a goofy, candid way is honestly healing.

KURT’S DOING THE SINGLE LADIES RING-HAND MOVE IN THE BACKGROUND THIS BOY REALLY LOVES HIS BEY. Me too Kurt me too

They straight up gave Rachel no gag reflex and had her guidance counsellor make a joke about it? Ok RIB

“Have you ever liked somebody so much you just want to lock yourself in your room, turn on sad music and cry?” Same girl, same

AAAaaaAAALllLlLLLLLlll BYYYYY MYYY SEEEEeeeEEEEEEEELFFFF.........bY mYsEeElF i’M bY mYsElF

Ok I like Emma but she sometimes kinda sucks at her job

“He doesn’t even notice me” Rachel, hon, he’s probably already warned his neighbours about you

“Gay parents encourage rebellion” PICK A SIDE, SUE! I really can’t keep up with the convenient flip-flopping of her bigotry. And with Jean, you’d think she’d go off on Rachel for calling people “chromosonally-challenged”

Finn, of course you know who Justin Timberlake is... That’s Mr Schue’s hotter, less evil twin!

I love how they have to label Robin Thicke on the poster - you know, because of how awful and irrelevant he was even then?

Half the janitors are just gone. How has this school not been closed down already?

Sign #6 That Mr Schuester Is An Asshole: Mr Schue: I want to build a club where people can express themselves musically Literally every single member: Hello Mr Schue, I’m here to express how much I dislike the music you’re making us perform. Mr Schue: Never talk to me or my fake-unborn-son ever again

Humble, modest Finn going d’aww shucks and telling Rachel to stop complimenting him is adorable. I love him!!!

How could I forget the celibacy club... I almost feel bad for Quinn, he’ like the only person there who genuinely cares about being celibate. I don’t buy that anybody’s convinced that Puck’s a virgin...

The fact that Finn thought joining the celibacy club would get him laid is just... Yeah. It suits him.

Jacob Ben Israel you will die by my hand you slimy, unforgivable bastard. NOBODY IS OBLIGATED TO GET YOUR DINGER WET, SCUMBAG! Short skirts are not an entitlement!!!

I still don’t know what Puck means when he says “Those skirts are crunchy toast” and I don’t think I want to know.

OH GOD T H E M A I L M A N . . .

Finn Hudson has canonically nearly killed a man and I don’t think anybody talks about that enough.

I beg all of you to look up this scene and listen to the way Finn goes “Ahahaha... Driving’s fun...” Like it just brings me so much joy. What a doofus.

Carole’s first instinct is to yell “OH MY GOD YOU’VE KILLED HIM WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO?!” Calm down queen he’s gon be fine

Quinn really hates contraception, huh!

I know your wife is a shit, Mr Schue, but it’s fucking reprehensible to lead on another woman. It’s clearly intentional at this point I’m sorry, you don’t put chalk dust on somebody’s nose like that platonically!

Rachel: We’re going to give them what they want! Kurt: Blood? God I love him

I do love the running gag of Figgins wildly overestimating the excitement for the assemblies tbh

This school doesn’t have working toilets but, hey, on the bright side, all you have to do to get expelled is shit yourself!

“Yay, Glee! Glee kids hooray!” Emma just warms my cockles

Will referring to the glee club and saying “We’re on our way back” like no, old man, you’re not getting clout for this. Then again, neither are any of the students until they’ve graduated...

AHH, PUSH IT! KURT’S HIPS. LOOK AT THEM GO. HE’S SO INTO IT.

I WANT THE FACE SUE MAKES WHEN SHE SEES FIGGINS TAPPING HIS FOOT TATTOOED ON MY HEART

Finn’s face as he gets ready to start his part... He’s so nervous. Bless him...

THE PERFECT TIMING OF KURT SLAPPING HIS ASS. And then the zoom on that fucking fanny pack going crazy this scene is so fucking iconic. That fanny pack has been burned into my retinas forever.

AND THE WAY HE WOBBLES HIS HEAD AROUND AS HE STEPS BACK. KURT! FUCKING! HUMMEL!

Oh god, now he’s crawling across the floor to Mercedes. I can’t tear my eyes away he’s GOING for it!

They really had Finn and Rachel go that hard? Honestly up until that point, the routine isn’t too overtly sexual, but now I understand why they get in trouble

I DON’T GET HOW THEY’RE STILL LOOKED DOWN ON AFTER THIS PERFORMANCE! Nearly everybody applauds! RIB just had to have that cake and eat it too.

I demand Will’s resignation too, Sue

Ah, the approved songs list... That they will proceed to ignore for the rest of the season post the Unholy Trinity’s audition

Sign #7 That Mr Schuester Is An Asshole: He has NO PLACE to be mad at Rachel here. You didn’t listen to any of your students, you wouldn’t compromise, and now they’re going on a sex riot. You did this!

Ken Tanaka you cannot undermine a woman’s self esteem and convince her to settle for you as a second choice, and then complain about feeling like a second choice... WHY do they ever act like he’s a victim here?!

Finn saw that whole-ass picnic set up and didn’t think to ask about it? King. I love one (1) himbo. The way he says “You’re cool, Rachel” just fucks me up every time...

She pours him the TINIEST drink in the world? Girl the cups not even a tenth full and he’s a big boy...

The real OTP is Finn x Airplane Cups

Why does Rachel lie down for the kiss... Is it solely so Finn can have his little overflow at the mayo factory or???

THE MAILMAN SCENE HAPPENS EVERY TIME HE KA-BLAMOS OH MY GOD HOW DID I FORGET...

Look, Rachel, I get that it sucks that he ran away, but he literally has a girlfriend? You couldn’t have expected things to go that well...

THE UNHOLY TRINITY FORMS... I’M QUAKING

Throwback to how blatantly obvious it was that Santana and Quinn weren’t singing at all. How did they think they’d get away with that...

Brittany’s original sideswept bangs? Ugh. Giving me LIFE.

Dianna’s voice turned me gay. I’m genuinely convinced my sexuality is Quinn Fabray’s fault and I’m not even mad?

By this point we know next to nothing about Santana’s character, but the second Sue suggests sabotage, her face fucking lights up. She’s living for it already 10/10

Will you can’t make Emma tag along to all your janitorial shifts I’m sorry. It’s just that you’re married. And a jackass.

I know Rachel went behind his back, but there’s no real reason to give Quinn the Don’t Stop Believing solo? She’s talented and incredible and I love her, sure, but it doesn’t suit her voice at all my guy, if you didn’t have biscuits for ears you’d know that...

Is this the only instance where Will takes actual responsibility for the glee club’s actions rather than blaming it all on the kids? Wow... A rare gem.

The way he says “I should never have pushed disco so hard...” All serious like... Get a fucking grip

I can believe that Rachel’s neighbours would sue her for singing all the god damn time

Rachel singing “Take A Bow” is more fitting than I realised. At first I was like, “that’s dumb, Finn doesn’t really realise what he did anyway” but it fits her character to use a song and spin it so she feels empowered by it in the end. Or at least, tries to feel that way.

So there’s episode 2! What a hot mess. We love our hot mess.

SAN DIEGO | Baez homers, drives in 5 as Cubs rout Padres 11-6

SAN DIEGO | Baez homers, drives in 5 as Cubs rout Padres 11-6

SAN DIEGO — Chicago Cubs manager Joe Maddon is running out of superlatives for All-Star slugger Javier Baez.

“Wow. That was a nice performance,” Maddon said after Baez — who almost was scratched because he didn’t feel well — hit a three-run home run and had five RBIs to highlight the NL Central-leading Cubs’ 11-6 victory over the San Diego Padres on Saturday night. Kyle Schwarber and Ian Happ also went deep.

Baez, voted to start at second base in his first All-Star Game, hit a no-doubt shot to right-center field off Phil Hughes in the ninth inning, and the thousands of Cubs fans at Petco Park chanted “Javy! Javy! Javy!” as the 25-year-old from Puerto Rico rounded the bases. It was his 19th.

“I like the way he’s going about his business,” Maddon said. “He’s playing the game right, playing the game hard, playing the game smartly, he’s just playing the game of baseball. I don’t think he has an analytical bone in his body. RBIs are groovy, despite what people say. His baserunning skills, acumen, he’s a baseball player. He’s absolutely fun to watch.”

Baez has 71 RBIs, tied for the NL lead and just four shy of his career-high set last year.

Maddon said he spoke with Baez recently about using the whole field.

“While I’m talking to him about different things, I’m very careful because I don’t want to mess with his vibe. He rotates and he beats to a different soundtrack, man. He’s just different. So when I speak to him, I try to simplify it and not give him a whole lot to think about, but just try to encourage thought on his part.”

Baez, who sounded congested, said he had a headache earlier in the day and his whole body hurt when he hit in the cage pregame. But he took some medicine and played.

“I told them I was going to get better during the game and I feel better,” he said.

Baez went opposite-field on his home run on a pitch from Hughes that just above the top of the strike zone.

“I hit it really good but kind of missed it a little bit and it went straight up. I didn’t think it was going out. But we had men on first and third and either it was going to score a run.”

There’s a good reason why Baez is so hot.

“This year I’ve been consistent with my work, with my routine, being here early,” he said. “I’m the type of guy that I like to take my time during my routine, so I like to get here early and there are already a few people here. Working is the thing that is getting me here and doing some good this first half.”

Maddon recently likened Baez to one of the Beatles because of his growing star power. The manager thought Baez would look like George Harrison or Ringo Starr if he grew out his hair.

Asked if he’d decided which one, Maddon said: “Maybe all of them, right?”

Baez and Schwarber will be in Monday’s Home Run Derby in Washington.

“That’s a little taste of what you’ll be getting for the Derby,” Schwarber said of Baez’s homer.

Kyle Hendricks (6-8) won for the first time in five starts, holding San Diego to two runs and five hits in five innings, with three strikeouts and no walks. He allowed Eric Hosmer’s two-run homer in the first, his 10th.

That lead was gone by the fourth. Happ homered to center field off Luis Perdomo (1-4) leading off the second, his 11th. Schwarber homered to left on a line shot after Happ walked opening the fourth. It was Schwarber’s 18th.

Baez gave the Cubs a 5-2 lead with a two-run double in the fifth that chased Perdomo. Jason Heyward was aboard on a double after the initial call that he was tagged out was overturned on video review.

Hunter Renfroe hit a pinch, two-run homer for the Padres in the sixth, his sixth, to pull the Padres within one.

But the Cubs added on in the eighth on Addison Russell’s two-run single to right and Victor Caratini’s two-run double just inside the right-field line.

Hosmer, San Diego’s $144 million man, has struggled recently.

“I think we’re thrilled to see it, and expect more as the second half unfolds for us,” manager Andy Green said of Hosmer’s homer. “He’s doing everything right, just hasn’t had any results.”

FRIAR FASHION

Count Cubs manager Joe Maddon as a fan of the Padres’ brown jerseys, which San Diego wears only for Friday night home games. “I love those. I think they’re the best uniform ever. Awesome, awesome. That uniform last night, you can’t beat that. They’re the best. I love them,” Maddon said.

The throwback unis are a nod to the mustard-and-mud color scheme of the 1980s. The Padres could go back to the brown, but not before 2020.

UP NEXT

Cubs: LHP Jon Lester (11-2, 2.45) is scheduled to start the series finale, which will cost him his spot on the All-Star active roster. The Cubs have won his last eight starts and are 15-3 in his 18 starts.

Padres: Rookie LHP Eric Lauer (5-5, 4.50) will try to replicate his brilliant performance from Tuesday night, when he fell one out shy of his first complete game in a 4-1 victory against the Los Angeles Dodgers. He allowed one run and four hits while striking out eight.
